(a) Sense of Congress on the Targeted Collection of United States
Person Information.--It is the sense of Congress that, as proscribed in
section 702(b)(2), section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act of 1978 has always prohibited, and continues to prohibit, the
intelligence community from targeting a United States person for
collection of foreign intelligence information. If the intelligence
community intends to target a United States person for collection of
foreign intelligence information under the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act of 1978, the Government must first obtain an
individualized court order based upon a finding of probable cause that
the United States person is a foreign power, an agent of a foreign
power, or an officer or employee of a foreign power, in order to
conduct surveillance targeting that United States person.
(b) Annual Audit of Targeting Decisions Under Section 702.--
(1) Mandatory review.--Not less frequently than annually, the
Department of Justice National Security Division shall review each
person targeted under section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act of 1978 in the preceding year to ensure that the
purpose of each targeting decision is not to target a known United
States person. The results of this review shall be submitted to the
Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General, the
congressional intelligence committees, and the Committees on the
Judiciary of the House of Representatives and of the Senate,
subject to a declassification review.
(2) Inspector general audit.--Not less frequently than
annually, the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General
shall audit a sampling of the targeting decisions reviewed by the
National Security Division under paragraph (1) and submit a report
to the congressional intelligence committees and the Committees on
the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and of the Senate.
(3) Certification.--Within 180 days of enactment of this Act,
and annually thereafter, each agency authorized to target non-
United States persons under section 702 shall certify to Congress
that the purpose of each targeting decision made in the prior year
was not to target a known United States person.
(4) Application.--The requirements under this subsection apply
for any year to the extent that section 702 of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 was in effect during any
portion of the previous year.

Subsection (d) of section 105 is amended by adding at the end the
following new paragraph:
``(5) An extension of an order issued under this title for
surveillance targeted against a United States person, to the extent
practicable and absent exigent circumstances, shall be granted or
denied by the same judge who issued the original order unless the
term of such judge has expired or such judge is otherwise no longer
serving on the court.''.

more individuals or organizations pursuant to this paragraph to
assist such court in a proceeding under section 702,

States Persons.--Section 103 is amended by adding at the end the
following new subsection:
``(l) Designation of Counsel for Certain Applications.--To assist
